The Gospel According to Frank

Merging elements of Frank Sinatra's public persona with Biblical and mythological representations of divinity, the poems in this collection weave a complex and engaging gospel narrating the life of an American icon. With wit and power, this sequence uses (and misuses) styles and forms from Greek mythology, the eighth-century Irish epic Tain Bo Cuailnge, the Welsh medieval tales of The Mabinogi, and the Old and New Testaments to construct a fresh portrait of The Chairman and the cosmos he still occupies.
